STOCK-CAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 328,746, dated October20, 1885. Application filed July 20, 1885. Serial No. 172,048. (Nomodel.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRISON ARMS, of Toledo, in the county of Lucas andState of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inStock-Cars, of which the following is a specification, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon.

This invention has reference to an improvement upon the inventiondescribed in Let ters Patent N 0. 808,808, issued to me, and is designedto simplify and increase the efficiency of certain features of theinvention therein claimed.

The present invention has reference, particularly, to the partitionbetween the stalls.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a part ofa partition and its adjuncts. Fig. 2 is a vertical section. Fig. 3 is aview of a detail.

Similar letters of reference indicate similar parts in the respectivefigures.

A is one of the posts to which the partition is hinged.

B is the hinging pin or bolt. The lower end of the pin or bolt B isdropped into a hollow casting, L, which is bolted to the lower end ofthe post A. The upper end of the pin B is flattened and bolted to thepost A.

O is the partition mounted upon hinges a, which run and turn upon thebolt B.

H is a casting upon which the lower and outer corner of the partitionrests when in place, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. In the latter figure thecasting H is shown L-shaped.

Jis acasting similar to that H, both castings being bolted to the sideof the car.

I is a latch or bar pivoted to the partition 0 at b, and capable ofvertical movement on its pivot.

K is a casting pivoted to the side of the car at b, and capable oflateral movement upon its pivot, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3.This casting K, when hanging perpendicularly, prevents the partitionfrom being jolted or otherwise moved out of its position.

When it is desired to swing the partition upon its hinging-bolt B, thecasting K is swung to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, andthe latch I lifted. The partition must now be lifted upon itshinging-boltB clear of the casting H and swung to the necessaryposition.

Having described my invention, I claim- 1. In a stock-car, thecombination of the partition 0 and castings H and J, substantially asand for the purpose described.

2. In a stock-car, the combination of the partition 0, castings H and J,and latch 1, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

3. In a stock-car, the partition 0, hinged to the bolt or pin B,combined with castings H and J, latch I, and pivoted casting K, allsubstantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand and seal.
